It is almost certain to be a Super. The chassis number is seven digits following a large batch of export Cowley-built cars. They were all painted red/black. Sometimes the occasional chassis number slips through the records, so it is quite possible it is the case with this car, especially being so close to a batch of Supers and having boot-board brackets.

so the VIN is still the same for super based on the above Austin Saloon A-A2S7-228926

Sorry, just noticed earlier post regarding Archive details. I do have details of Supers not recorded as such in the factory ledgers. This may or may not be one, it seems to much detail is missing to be sure. But it is very close to a batch of Supers and as it has the boot-board brackets...

you can see where the rivits were in the boot

also snap in carpets

you can where they covered over the wand opening with a piece of aluminum remote shifterI saw another super with remote shift

FE306116 is from April 1962828926 makes no sense as a chassis number for a Morris Mini non Cooper saloon as they never got beyond 509152 for a Mk 1.828926 which is from December 1965 doesn't look like a Cooper chassis number.Have you a picture of the 828926 stamping?

As it has a cross-member stamping, surely it must have been a Cowley (Morris factory) built Austin? Didn't think Longbridge stamped those numbers. Also as a USA specification it would be left hand drive, so that would be indicated in the number.

For a heritage cert / chassis plate, I think the full chassis number format to use would be "A-A2S7L - 228906M"
